Iceland is committing to become the first major retailer globally to eliminate plastic packaging from all of its own brand products by the end of 2023. The process starts now, and Iceland is challenging itself to complete it within the next five years.
Iceland’s pledge will be an important step towards cutting down on the estimated 1 million tonnes of plastic generated by supermarkets in the UK each year.
